The Third Duchess of Champagne-Ardenne, Hortense de Beaudelaire, was an ordinary high-born child from birth, but had grown up to be a legend.
Fed up with the gentlemen asking for her hands in marriage, she left Champagne and the title of Duchess of Champagne-Ardenne behind then headed to Paris to join the Queen's Guards in order to seek freedom which as an aristocrat she did not have. Some years after that, Mme de Tréville introduced to the Queen a new lady for her court, called Hélène d'Artenade from Gascony, whom was put under Hortense's command. That was when the adventures began and the legend was born.
History did not remember her, neither the Queen's Guards. We just knew that, she was an outstanding legend, and also a forgotten one.

Tale of a brigadière before Oscar de Jarjayes and the obscure ancestor of the more obscure Immortal Legend.

*Second tale in the Legendary Trilogy.

The Lost Life of Laraine by BearGoRawr
53 parts Ongoing
She lead a rather tragic life. The black sheep of her family due to her lack of affinity for fire. Her affinity was quite the opposite. Water in fact. Already in a time when women did not really have much political power or rights, she was outcasted by her family despite being of nobility. Still allowed to live in the distant west wing of the massive Grand Duke's manor, she has never eaten a single meal with her family nor extended family, and has spent her loneliness in her books and sword lessons. Although only taught by the head butler and one of the low ranked knights of the family, she was quite bright and if her family would have given her a chance she would have done great things. If only she didn't die at such a young age. Married off to some "hero" of sort that had slayed the Dragon of the North who was terrorizing the land and threatened the kingdom, this hero also had an affinity for fire and held her in disdain like the rest of her family. Suddenly a girl of another world was transported to their world, picked up by this hero and put into his secure care. The pair soon fell for each other despite the hero's marriage, and many believed Laraine got jealous of this girl of mystery, and tried to kill her. This was definitely not true. But because the girl was favored by the temple and kingdom Laraine was quickly arrested and put on trial. You can probably tell what happened to Laraine. But something strange happened the day of her execution. As soon as her decapitated head hit the ground the sky turned blood red and it began to rain fire. No one survived that day. But for some reason time went back, and Laraine was back to being a child, but with no memory of her future. There were select few in her life, however, that remembered her tragedy and now perhaps will take action to prevent it. NOTE: I'M AWARE THERE ARE A LOT OF INCONSISTENCIES. IT WILL BE EDITED SOME DAY BUT RIGHT NOW I'M JUST TRYING TO FINISH IT.

*COMPLETED* Annalise(Ann) had a simple life. A loving family, and a roof over her head. But when that is taken away, when the king and his men destroy her village and take her life away. She is thrown into a life of servitude to the king. But What happens when the king develops a deep desire for her? Will she fall in love with the merciless King? 𝑬𝒙𝒄𝒆𝒓𝒑𝒕: I hear the king get up from his seat and start walking over to me. I see his shoes come into my line of vision. My senses are clouded by his strong scent of cedarwood. I refuse to look up at him. He gives off an aura that is dark and intimidating. My eyes begin to swell with tears at the thought that I will end up like the man before me. "Look at me," he commands in a deep voice. I refuse. He commands again this time more cynical, "Look. at. me!" His voice booms off the walls, echoing in the room. I flinch at the tone but still refuse. Then suddenly, he roughly raised my chin. My eyes meet his cold blue ones. His eyes seem to soften for a moment then quickly return to their cold state. He muttered something under his breath that I didn't catch. He lets go of my chin and walks around, scanning me with his eyes. "What am I to do with you?" He mutters to himself. After a few moments, he is back in front of me. He smirks, "I will make you my personal chambermaid." CONTINUE THE STORY INSIDE...

[Completed] When Bella, Edward and Alice were about to leave Volterra after rescuing the mind-reader, the three of them felt a pull to one of the rooms in the Castle and followed it. When Alice opened the door, all three of them were astounded to find a real life Sleeping Beauty laying in a deep slumber. That Sleeping Beauty was The Queen Of All Vampires. ....... When the Moon Goddess created the first vampires of their kind, she was happy. She was soon saddened after she saw the destruction they had caused to the creation of her brother's. Before she went and took her place in the Heavens, she created her last child. She left her in the care of one of her first children, Geraltine. A baby who was neither a Vampire nor a Human. Carved with beauty that exceeded Aphrodite herself. A voice that was far more melodious than Apollo and his Muses. Filled with a heart of gold. Oblivious of the dangers of the world. Gifted with the ability to heal and manipulate nature. But beneath all the innocence was the power to destroy all of the Supernatural Race. Power to control and rule the entire Kosmos. But she needs a trigger to unleash her all her strength. Not one but three triggers. _______ !WARNING! This story is unedited with a cliché plot that I already deviated to a more cliché plot. Read it at your own risk. I implore that you not dawdle on my writing so much (if you really are that insane and have decided to read it anyway), it has changed so much in nearly a year. If you are an impressionable reader and/or future writer in the making, read well-written works of art. There are so many out there. This isn't one of them.

However, when you deal with magic, the knowledge lies within the art itself, and adjusting to such a new skill and power turned out to be more of a challenge than she'd thought. Lucky for her though, she wasn't the only one trying to figure out the ropes of this unfamiliar world. Harry Potter, a boy who longed for change and sanction, only wanted a home within the hallowed walls of Hogwarts, but he'd never expected to find a home within her. ─── ⋆⋅✰⋅⋆ ─── harry potter x fem! oc sorcerers stone-deathly hallows
